Today…

…I am a ‘joiner’. ;o) RR and I are joining the rest of the country at the voting booth (it’s RR’s first time voting *evah* but sssshhh don’t tell him I told you, he’s a bit sensitive about it *grin*).

…and…

I am joining in with the NaKniSweMo KAL. The sweater I will be knitting this month is the St. Patrick sweater from A Fine Fleece, the yarn I am using is Wild Apple Hill purchased at Rhinebeck this year in the colorway ‘Midnight’:

I am knitting the body in the round which is a mod from the pattern. I plan on adding a seam stitch on each side of the body that I will drop and pick up a la EZ to make the sides feel a bit sturdier.

I’m kind of behind schedule since I’d like to be further along but I think I might be able to finish on time. I’m looking forward to wearing this sweater in December when i’m too cheap to turn up the heat during the day. ;op

Alas, I am not a joiner. *And* I am not voting (!!!! – something to do with not being American). My first 8 days of November are consumed by a craft faire (sic) and I must make stupid little things for others to wear or to full (and felt). The upside? I may actually sell something! 8-)
Sweater looks great – yay you! You can do it! And yay for voting.

Ya know, my husband voted for only the second time in his life. He has turned from a man who six months ago couldn’t remember if he was a Dem or a Rep to an outspoken political analyst with full understanding of the most pressing national issues of the day. He woke me up Tuesday night so I could listen to Obama’s acceptance speech with him.

It’s very interesting to see a guy use the Internet for cnn.com and not, you know.

I don’t know if this project will stay here, but I wanted a spot to put all of my photos for the current sampler I’m cross stitching.

I’ve put this on ‘hibernating’ status since I’m trying to decide what to do - I kind of want to pick my favorite 6 and make a mini sampler since there are some books in the mix that aren’t my favorites
